STATS UNITE Tl m!!! THAN 018 NU'IT, UBGE, NEW YORK DEODORAN'I AND emaiws'me POWDER '80 Drawing. A plication filed lunch, 18%, Serial No. 284,888. Renewed February 16, 1888.

This invention relates to a deodorant and cleaning powder, for use in cleansin porcelain toilet bowls and drain pipes, to eep the porcelain free from encrustation, to remove it where it has occurred, and to deodorize unsanitary odors from the toilet and leave a perfumed odor in the toilet and bath room.

In accordance with my invention, powdered or granular bisulfate of sodium, a

m cleanser, is combined with a powder, such as anhydrous sodium sulfate to prevent the bisulfate of sodium from adhering, and to act as a carrying base for the essential oil or oils, or other deodorizing perfume that may be used.

It is not the purpose to limit the perfume to essential oils, for it may be best to use a chemical perfume, such as vanillin, coumarin, or heliotropin, phenol, crude carbolic acid or the like, to obtain the desired results.

Sodium bisulfate is of such a deliquescent character that the addition of an essential oil, phenol, or the like, would tend to liquefy it,

or cause it to cake, or conglomerate in cara tons, or other packages, pending its use.

For use in the present combined cleansi wder and deodorant, the sodium bisulfate 1s finely powdered or anulated, and approximately 80 parts t ereof ma be com bined with about 16 parts of kiln ried sodium sulfate in a powdered or granulated form.

The object of the invention is obtained by the use of kiln dried sodium sulfate combined with the bisulfate of sodium to prevent the bisulfate of sodium from liquefymg or cak- .ing when about 4 parts of the essential oil or oils, henol, or other deodorizing perfume is adde thus forming a composition which remains d under ordinary atmos heric conditions an which is not injurious y affected by contact with the ordinary moisture of the atmos here.

In t e com sition thus formed the finely powdered so 'um sulfate coats the granules of the bisulfate of sodium, filling the inter- I stices between the same, preventing it liquefying when the oil or perfume is added, and

' keeping it in a free flowing condition so tha the composition ma be boxed, or laced in cartons or cans an placed on sh ves of a wholesale or retail merchant for an extended period without losing its original dry powder or granular form.

' I claim:

1. A perfumed cleaning powder and deodorant including a mixture of approximately 80 arts of sodium bisulfate and 16 parts of so ium sulfate in finely powdered form for coating the granules of the sodium bisulfate.

2. A perfumed cleaning powder and de odorant including a mixture of 80 parts of sodium bisulfate, a deodorizing perfume, and 16 parts of sodium sulfate for preventin the sodium bisulfate from lituefying or ca ng as when the perfume is adde In testimon whereofI aflix m LIAM FRANCI si ature.
